Carole King — Tapestry Live in Hyde Park, London, 2016

Why this recording

Ten years to the day after the concert, Carole King Productions released the film directed by Marcus Viner for the 2017 CD, DVD and Blu-ray edition. On stage, Danny Kortchmar, who played guitar on the original 1971 Tapestry sessions, ties the evening directly to the album. Once the twelve songs have been played in sequence, the second half turns to the songs she wrote for other artists: a Goffin/King medley, “Chains”, “Up on the Roof”, “The Loco-motion”. The finale returns to “I Feel the Earth Move” and “You've Got a Friend” as reprises.
